Now what, Anwar/PKR/Azmin?

Will Azmin dare lead the PKR charge in Batu Sapi?
~ The People’s Parliament

October 25, 2010

Anwar’s blog carries a post entitled ‘Ansari bawa harapan rakyat Batu Sapi’.

I’m hearing differently from my sources in Sabah.

I’m hearing that on the ground, Ansari is perceived as handpicked to serve, not the people of Batu Sapi, but Azmin’s agenda in Sabah.

What’s that agenda?

“Let Azmin come and tell Sabahans what his plans are for Sabah when he campaign in Batu Sapi, if he dares to.
Many PKR members are going to use this by-election to let PKR HQ know what we think of Azmin. Let him come”, I was told over the phone.

PKR is Begging For a Spanking?

What does Anwar think he's doing?
Does he think he can walk into Sabah and put whomsoever he pleases, wherever he pleases to pusue the PR agenda- when Sabahans don't give a fig about him?
More so, after his actions upon entry of UMNO into Sabah & "Project M"?

Maybe what Zaid said has some truth in it- Anwar seems to be thinking that this whole anti-BN sentiment is about him .... he seems to think that people willrally around him at every turn!!
PKR is fielding Ansari from Tuaran in Batu Sapi, hoping that Sabahans would clamour for his leadership. To say that Sabahans are disappointed would be an understatement. Maybe they're just dumbfounded with the stupidity shown by PKR in Sabah. They seem to be no different from Umno in their early days in Sabah, pushing their weight wherever possible..... and he hopes that people take him in with open arms. WTH- If he was so hard up for a Bumiputra Muslim to contest in that seat, the least he could've done was field Thamrin ....

This time around, I don't think BN needs to do much "buying"- they'll win hands down in both Batu Sapi & Galas (thanks to the destruction of the Orang Asal church).

RPK mooted the idea of a third force- well maybe not exactly, but he has been pushing for it hard lately. Earlier, I thought it may not be a good idea, as it could pull the rug from under the PR agenda to "March to PutraJaya" to displace UMNO.
While I used to be sceptical about the need for a "Third Force" in the past, looking at the way PKR is destabilizing the PR "electoral pact"- I now think that it is imperative that we have this "third force".
If DAP cannot sort out the mess in their own house, if PAS cannot be more consciences in dealing with those who aren't Muslims (more so, the poor Orang Asal), if PKR cannot get rid of their old UMNO ways- let let Anwar's agenda be damned (barring the issue about Saifool's ass), let PKR's agenda be damned, let PR be damned let Malaysians be damned .....
- it wouldn't make a difference anyways!!

Maybe something positive may rise out of the ashes left behind, after UMNO has sapu-bersih this country!!

So Raja Petra Kamarudin/ RPK/ Pete - Go for it!!

================================

Here's something from Simon Templer:-

"Anwar, ......... Don't you get it?
The East Malaysians do not trust us West Malaysians
(seriously, can anyone blame them when we have been ripping them off since 1963?)
Let the Sabahans fight their own battle.
Let them keep their own state. "

Anwar, Pack Up And Leave Batu Sapi

We rakyat are real suckers.

At least that's what most of our Malaysian politicians seem to think.

The entire Barisan Nasional politicians think that we are idiots who cannot think. (Ok... Truth is I actually know quite a few people out there who can't think. But... Some other time...)

Then we have our not-so-beloved-anymore PKR who thinks that we enjoy watching their year-round circus acts. Yup, definitely not so loved anymore. And I don't think I am an isolated case. We shall leave DAP and PAS out for now as they are not the subject of discussion here. But mind you, they have their own shit-load pile of dung too.

Now what's with the Batu Sapi fight? Isn't PKR the one who first brought DAP and PAS to the table to discuss how to prevent a 3-corner (or more) fight. Isn't the objective of the entire 'opposition' coalition that to fight the single common enemy i.e. BN? So what is PKR now blardie doing in the Batu Sapi fight?

Some of you may say that why can't SAPP not fight and let PKR field their candidate?

Or some of you may say that well SAPP is not part of the coalition, so why should PR even need to talk to them in the first place.

That will be to miss the whole point of the rakyat's fight. The rakyat is not fighting for Anwar (please imprint this in your mind, Anwar). The rakyat is not fighting for PKR or DAP or PAS. You will be dammed if you think that we really love you. What we want is CHANGE. And you political parties are nothing but our tool to get BN out of power. Well that's how things are. You guys are using us to get to power. So don't complain or call us ungrateful.

It doesn't matter to us if SAPP is fighting BN or PKR is fighting BN. As long as someone is there to fight BN, then we'll be on your side. But if you have PKR, SAPP and BN in the fight, what do you want us to do? To choose who we love more between SAPP and PKR? What are you guys trying to do? Eh wankers... The common enemy is BN. Let's keep it that simple.

Now that we have establish that line of thought, PKR or SAPP for Batu Sapi? SAPP la. Look at the name - Sabah Progressive Party. Sabah dei, Sabah... Let the Sabahans fight their fight. This is why East Malaysians do not like West Malaysians. The West Malaysians are always thinking that they are better and more superior than the East Malaysians. What on earth is PKR trying to do fighting the Sabahan fight? You don't see UMNO (Penang based) Gerakan fielding their candidate in Sabah or Sarawak do you?

Seriously, I cannot understand PKR's objective in the Sabah fight. Do you see Ford aggressively selling cars in Japan? No, they do not. They acquire Mazda and let Mazda do the fighting. The profits still ultimately land on their laps.

Anwar, similarly, you do not need to penetrate Sabah via PKR. Neither will the Sabahans accept that. Don't you get it? The East Malaysians do not trust us West Malaysians (seriously, can anyone blame them when we have been ripping them off since 1963?) Let the Sabahans fight their own battle. Let them keep their own state. But while at that, get them to work together with us to form the ultimate central government. I mean, can you imagine PBS recruiting a Wan Kelantan and field him as a candidate in Galas? Ridiculous isn't it. That's exactly what PKR is doing right now at Batu Sapi.

Election's the Game, Democracy's the name .....

============================
KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 (Bernama) -- The Election Commission (EC) need not carry out an investigation to find out why some postal votes were not returned and where they were kept. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said that under the existing law, the EC was only responsible for the postal votes that were returned before 5pm.
"For postal votes that were not returned before 5 pm, they were no longer under the jurisdiction of the EC," he said in his written reply to a question from Fong Po Kuan (DAP-Batu Gajah) at the Dewan Rakyat sitting, here Wednesday.

Zimbabwe's opposition leader has fled to a Western embassy after pulling out of the presidential runoff, and dozens of his supporters were hustled away by police in a raid on party headquarters Monday.
American, African and European leaders denounced the developments in this southern African country, but President Robert Mugabe appeared determined to press ahead with Friday's vote.

-FoxNews
(Note: Morgan Tsvangirai has since, left the Dutch Embassy)

The despot in Harare had been fully prepared for Friday's election. The police and military had been made to vote in advance -- in their barracks and under close supervision. "Our superior told us to vote for Mugabe whether we wanted to or not," one police officer from Bulawayo said. After the vote the head of the barracks checked all the ballot papers to make sure they were correct.

"He wasn't a criminal at that time. He hasn't been put in jail. So what's wrong with giving timber to the leader of a country?"
- newzimbabwe.com

Mahathir Mohamad, the former Malaysian prime minister, has angrily rejected an outcry over his secret use of government funds to help the disgraced Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe build a new $A13 million mansion near Harare.
Dr Mahathir denied any impropriety in his decision to donate a $40,000 shipment of rare Malaysian rainforest timbers to his close friend Mr Mugabe, an international pariah for his human rights abuses and nationalist policies that have ruined Zimbabwe’s economy.

“Yes, we did give Zimbabwe timber, but what’s wrong with that?” a defiant Dr Mahathir, said.

============================

Citizen Nades in the Sun yesterday, wrote about Zimbabwe under Mugabe - As I checked Google news while having my morning coffee, I saw news about Zimbabwe.
The article went on to say -
"The rate of inflation has risen to a staggering 2 million percent, a liter of Coke has increased in price from 200 million Zimbabwean dollars to 1.4 billion in just one week. A kilogram of meat has jumped from 1.5 million to 7 million Zimbabwean dollars. Postponing grocery shopping by even half an hour, one newspaper calculated, could see the value of one's money reduced by half."

That's how "a good friend", who has been invited by "a great Muslim leader" to actually take residence in Malaysia, runs his nation. I've yet to hear any condemnation of these atrocities committed by this "friend" of his.
Mugabe has come to believe that he owns Zimbabwe, and he can to what he wishes with the instruments of state, to the people. He believes that only he should and would run Zimbabwe, to the ground if it need be.

Although the events there could be described as apocalyptic by Malaysian standards, it may not be as far-fetched to imagine that it is quite a possibility here in the not too distant future, should the people not demand accountability from "politicians".
That's the predicament a nation that once believed that only one party/man could "protect the people's rights", as we once saw (possibly even still) in Malaysia under the Umno/BN regime for 50.
There has also been little news about Malaysia's stand on the atrocities meted out by this "democratically elected friend" - Mugabe.
I'd shudder to think what the "great Muslim leader" thinks of Mugabe, though ... especially when he's publicly stated that Mugabe should make Malaysia is home(is it My Second Home or Look East Polity or Asian Values, now??).

The vote is today regarded by many in power as their right - the vote should belong to the rulers, and not the citizen.
The casting votes by "security forces" of Zimbabwe, is apparently quite similar to that in Malaysia.
Today, the EC of Malaysia and the Executive are slinging mud at each other for the indelible ink fiasco. Both don't want to take the responsibility for the scrapping of the idea, and the "conspiracy" to cheat voters as alleged by certain quarters seem to have taken a backseat.
Still, it is hoped that the police investigation results in someone being held accountable.
One might wonder if the events in Zimbabwe started off in a similar fashion.

The "affirmative action" called "land reforms" in Zimbabwe, designed to give valuable farming land to the "bumiputras" has bankrupted the state, without any "pendatang scapegoat" left to whack.

Let's not speak of the reported torture & murders in Zimbabwe or Malaysia where "investigations are in progress" - it may be "sub-judice" or something like that.
We'll just speak of the "economic piracy" for now ...

Although things in Malaysia was handled with a little more "finesse" (compared to Zimbabwe, i.e.)- as in the Offshore Patrol Vehicles (OPV) fiasco, PKFZ, Putrajaya, KLCC, MSC, Cyberjaya, Proton, Angkasawan, Perwaja, "gifts" for 3rd world despots who attend the Langkawi "Summit", Project IC .......

Here's something interesting on the web with regard to "Project IC" (aka "Project M" aka the rape of Sabahans' rights) -
"The phenomenon of documentary citizenship, which I observed firsthand in Malaysia, reveals this assumption to be mistaken, at least insofar as it is applied to developing states.
Illegal immigrants, I observed, were taking part in elections in Malaysia even as many natives continue to have no documents proving their citizenship.
Illegal immigrants were being welcomed and afforded the rights of citizens by sections of the Malaysian state over the opposition of many native citizens. Illegal immigration to Malaysia from the Philippines and Indonesia highlights the paradox of states actively admitting illegal immigrants........
The beneficiaries of such manipulation of ethnicity and migration at the subnational level are the parties that get the vote of these illegal immigrants, the officials, the local illegal entrepreneurs that sell citizenship documents, and finally, the illegal immigrants who not only become citizens with voting rights but also have access to affirmative action policies with their status as Bumiputera, or ‘‘sons of the soil.’’"
- When States Prefer Non-Citizens Over Citizens: Conflict Over Illegal Immigration into Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will launch a "massive operation' against illegal immigrants in Sabah soon, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Wednesday.
He said all foreign nationals without identification documents issued by their own countries or by Malaysia's Immigration Department would be deported.
- The Star

What a stroke of genius from Najib!!
Now, Illegals with valid documents from NRD, as alleged by the writer of the above can live happily ever after in wonderland below the Wind!
When will our politicians be held accountable to our voting rights?
Will the Sabahans fight to reclaim their rights from the pirates or terrorists who have apparently sold-out on them, instead of crying foul?
Do they realize that it was their fear, apathy and greed (of their "leaders", actually) that had done them in?
Do the Bumiputras realize that the NEP & "Ketuanan Melayu", is used mainly as a pretext for (you know what ...), leaving only peanuts for them?
Do they realize that they could actually have more to gain in the long run, without the racist "affirmative policy" that is bankrupting the state, and skyrocketing the cost of living, while corrupting their ethics & culture, and admittedly enriching a few?
When will the politicians account for the taxes paid by the citizen - 90% of which is paid by the "Non- Bumiputras" (at least that's what Mahathir says) who are denied equal rights in various sectors?

Definitely not until we demand for it through increased awareness & social/ political activism, as opposed to the current fear & apathy.
And it can only be done with support from the general public (more so, from a truly confident and fearless Malays/ Bumiputras) who don't expect crutches, from a govt bent on corrupting and paralysing them for good, so as to make them subservient.
Only then can the people reign supreme in this land of "equals".
Until then, the "Democratic" Pirates will rule - as in Zimbabwe.

Maybe the pirates will reign supreme,
and Mahathir was right - in that "People forgive & forget easily .....".
So Mugabe ...... Come to where the flavour is -
Come to Malaysia (with your gazillions)!
You've been invited by an apparently great leader.
You'll have friends in high places ......
